Why not setup a mail server in unix?
Then it could be sent straight there!!!
And then you could do something like below:
To point you in the right direction -
You can use /etc/mail/aliases to redirect mail to a script or executable. At that point you will have to parse through it to do everything you've asked.

It sounds like quite an undertaking! I'm sure there are commercial products out there that do similar, but I don't know of any.

Ther format for the aliases file is:

nobody : /my/super_script.sh

This will pass the email to super_script.sh as stdin. I'd love to see the script when you're done with it!

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but this might be a case, that just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean it SHOULD be done.
